I out and out CHEERED when Falcon took up the mantle of Captain America.

To be honest there was a lot of the FAWS that didn’t make sense— largely it was a wee bit ropey, but I liked what they were trying to do, possibly inadvertently; I understand that there was a lot of post-production editing as a function of Covid.

I clocked Sharon as a bad guy, however, I have to wonder if it is actually Sharon (mask or Kree?). The character was in it for the profit-capitalism, which was clearly identified enemy in the series.

I thought that they were trying to show that life is really, really complex and--dare I say it--the clean cut divide between good-evil/ terrorist-rebels is an artefact of Superhero comics or Westerns, and really the nuance is whether or not you deliberately hurt people. But there was some genuinely creepy imagery, strength-makes-things-right, and evil-doer apologism in this series that made the skin crawl up the back of my neck.
